RICHMOND TOBACCO MARKET.

MARCH 2, 1887. '
Loose receipts arc continually decreasing.
The decrease In this market for the Ave months
past was 3,300.il3 pounds, indicating about 30
per cent. falling OF. as compared with last
YEARS. receipts. IL Is fair 10 suppose. however.
that the very low prices have kept back many
crops for later delivery, and perhaps improved
prices. This IL, however, not believed by many,
50 far as the counties near Richmond arc con-
cerued. II the Ike falling-o1 Of receipts here
and those reported In other markets taken
together Is fair criterion, the crop OF Vir-
GINA will be MOI leSs than 80 per cent short,
al very low prices, and what can the condition
OF planters be on this basis requires no close
calculating. II II probable, with these ALSO
iutely heavy losses on tobacco, that planters
will have the money. credit, or labor 70
handle another heavy crop! This ID aquestion
more easily asked than answered. Few To-
bscco-growers read up the status of tobacco

again who regard almost anything said by the

The TrOater Nomination.


WASHINGTON, March 2.-The Senate
Committee on the District of Columbia,
at a special and very short meeting this
morning, voted to report adversely upon
the nomination of James Nj. Trotter,
the Boston colored man nominated to
re recorder of deeds for the District OF
Columbia. The vote was as follows ::
IN favor Of Trotter, Messrs. Harris,
Brown, and Cheney; opposed, Messrs.
Ingalls,, Palmer, Blackburn, and Vance.
Trotter arrived in Washington this
morning, and was to-day appointed by
Matthews to be deputy recorder Of
deeds. This circumstance has Oc-
casioned great deal of comment, much
Of it unfavorable. At the Office Of the
recorder it is explained that as Mat
thews cannot hold the Office after the
expiration Of the present session of the
renate there would be no head to the
Office in case Trotter shonld not
be confirmed, hence Matthews has APP
pointed Trotter his deputy. Some OF
the lawyers of the city are quoted as
saving that if there was no other object
than the one above given there was no
occasion for hurrying Trotter here from
Massachusetts to become deputy. A
District man or one of the clerks in the
Office could have been appointed as
well. The law provides for deputy,
and he can run the Office in default OF
proper head to it. The opinion is ex-
pressed by some lawyers that this move
is made to save. the President from
making a recess appointment in case of
failure of the Senate to confirm Trot-
ter. The appointment was made be-
fore the action of the committee on
Trotter's nomination became known.

Especial telegram to the Dispatch-l
New YORK, March 2.-The Richmond
Terminal directors met this afternoon
and held long session. Director John
Wannamaker, of Philadelphia, rendered
his resignation, which was accepted,
and Mr.. Edward Lauterbach, who has
figured so prominently in connection
with the affairs of this company, was
elected to fill the vacancy thus caused.
An Executive Committee was elected,
which is composed of Messrs. Alfred
Sully (presidenD, T. NJ. Logan vice
president), and Directors J. b. Pace,
Mayer Lehman, George s. Scott, Cal
vim s. Brice, John II. Inman, and
George f. Stone.
After the meeting a director said to
Your correspondent that this commit
tee represented the various conflicting
interests in the Board, and that he
thought it would serve to harmonic
matters and place the company in a
better position with the general public
tLen it had occupied of late.
The names represent an immense
financial backing. After the announce
ment of this committee the stock went
up from 4Oi, its opening price, to 42E,
and closed at 42s, the sales amounting
TO 80, 4G0 shares. IT was also stated IN
behalf of the directors that no more
stock would be issued for the purpose
of obtaining control of any other pro-
perty.
A well-known banker this afternoon
said that this committee was certainly
a strong one, and that if its member;
would bend their energies towards i'm
proving the property, and not use theil
positions to speculate in tdo securities
at the expense of the public, confidence
would be restored and the road would
receive the support to which it was en-
titled.

Tn inaay the 10th day OF Deem
Der last year Miss burlington took that
fatal ride. 1t was only day or two
after the disappearance OF Miss Tur-
lington when Bingham was reported In
the State OF New York threatening his
supposed rival with death. A few days
thereafter Governor Scales issued his
proclamation offering $500 for the cap
ture of Bingham. The next newspaper
account that appeared in regard to
a man supposed to be Bingham reported
him as seen in Virginia, near the North
Carolina line, early in the month OF JAN
uary. A man answering 10 the descrip-
ton Of Bingham in almost every par
ticular was seen by Colonel G. ID. Ray
and others in the town OF huntsville,
n. G. A man on Turkey creek, IN this
(Buncombe) county, answering 10
the description of this fugitive was
reported to have been seen early
in February. Now, the latest
rumor that comes from any authentic
source is to the effect that this myste.
rious deaf mute has most likely been
seen in the county Of Haywood. How
true this latter rumor is, or what foun
dation for it there may be, no one here
knows. The conjecture, however, is
that this sweetheart-murderer turks
somewhere among the hills and fast
nesses of Western North Carolina.

Particulars of the Burning or the
steamer Gardner.


[By telegraph to the Dispatchl
MOBILE, March 1.-The news of the
burning of the steamer Gardner Is
coming in slowly-none was received
until this afternoon. The fire was dis
covered by Captain Stone. A negro
deck hand threw water on the burning
Tale. and in throwing another bucketful
lis clothing caught fire. Panic-stricken,
he ian from place TO place, setting fire
TO cotton bales, ard in few moments
tie boat was i'll flames all over. She
was in nlid-stream aud in motion.
The crew and passengers jumped over
board. Those lost were drowned. 1t
is not thought that more than one or
two were burned Captain Stone saved
himself by swimming ashore. Later
intelligence shows that the fire origi-
nated.from n spark from the chimney
and was spread by the negro deck-hand,
as related The steamer Tally was be-
hind the Gardner waiting to pass. AS
soon as the flames broke out she low
cred her boats and threw overheard
bales of seed-sacks and planks to help
the people who were jumping from the
Gardner. The heat was so intense that
the Tally did not dare to go near, but her
boats picked up number of people.
Had il not been for the presence OF the
Tally but few would have been saved.
When the fire broke out the Gardner
was ordered to run ashore. She backed,
l., hgl .
ahead, but the engineers were driven
from their post by the flames, and the
boat drifted into the woods on the OPP
posite side from the place where there
was a practicable landing. Pilot w.
II. Wilson remained in the pilot-house
until he fourd that his signals were not
obeyed, and that the flames were lick
ing the sides of the pilot-house, when
he fed foe his life. Heis much praised
for his heroism.
The report Of the loss of life is con-
firmed. The persons mentioned as I'M
known in last nights report were Mrs.
Lindsay, chambermaid Jim Coleman,
the cook Joey, a deck-sweeper, and
colored woman-Mrs. Rembert' S
nurse-name not given. The cabin
boy of the Tally, named Barber (col-
ored), performed heroic deeds in saving
five lives, which he did by swimming
ashore with those in the water. The
screams Of those on the boat were
heartrt nding. Mrs. Rembert threw
her child into the water, her hus-
band taking the other two. Then
she jumped in. All but the husband
were drowned. Mrs. julie Rembert

drowning. She is at Demopols, and is
in a precariods condition. The boat
was not insured and.was valued at Sl2,

ton. was adopted
The Senate at o'cl,cS proceeded to
tie consideration of the naval appropri-
alton bill. Under the head of increase
Of tie navy. the committee recon-
moEds striking out the House provision
for two swift dOuble-bottomed steel
cruisers and FOR tOur gunboats, all to
cost, exclusive OF armament, not more
than 1850, Oo0, and the substitution OF
two new sections providing for six pro

Mr.. Cray questioned thepolicy OF the
provision requiring one Of the SIX steel
cruisers TO be built on or near the coast
Of the Pacific Ocean and two OF them
on or near the coast Of the Gulf OF
Mexico. This was only trammelling the
Secretary of the Navy and interfering
with the general object proposed de
WIS in favor of the accomplishment OF
what the section proposed namely, the
creation Of six swift. available, and ell,
hcicnt cruisers-and therefore he moved
10 strike out that provision.
The question was taken on Mr'
Gray's amendment, and it was rejected.
Mr.. Plumb moved TO strike out the
item Of $4,000, 600 for heavily-armored
vessels or batteries or rams for coast
offences. In advocating his motion
Mr.. Plumb made a long political
speech, criticising and ridiculing the
House and attacking the conterrees
upon the fertilization bill in terms that
brought Messrs. Dawes and Gorman'
two OF the Senate confenees criticised,

and in rejoinder TO Fir. Plumb.
